• Tack-free in 30 minutes.

Surface Preparation & Application:

1. Surface must be clean, dry and free of old caulk, dirt, dust, debris and grease.

2. Remove cap (from tube). Cut nozzle at a 45° angle to desired bead size.

3. Load into caulking gun (if using the 10.1 oz. cartridge).

4. Fill gap with caulk, pushing caulk ahead of nozzle.
